Suheir Hammad - Nothing lyrics

I need to be a provider. I need a stage and a rider. 
Kiss my baby goodbye, it eats me alive every time.
I need a beat to confide in, give the demons to fight Move forward with life and leave my troubles behind I need to breathe in the fire, live within all the light And let it burn the desire, giving up on the fight It's like the dream of surviving is the only reason to die Nothing I do, Nothing I need, Nothing I want and Nothing to be Nothing to me, and nothing to you but nothing we turn Nothing to Greed I want my people alive. I want a piece of the pie I want to read before write. I want to see for the blind I want to reach for the sky, without being so high Where our peace is alive, but then our people collide I feel the planets aligning or a channel divide us Programmed in our Violence, because we fear our demise It's like the dream of surviving is the only reason to die Suheir Hammad: Hold nothing to declare Trust no contact between men and blood Ghosts nest belly basin Ahead without shoulder no shade Fault line fragility Time through space cavern missing within
